Just heard that a video of KYŌSHIN (Sonic Resonance: Event for Muscles, Heartbeat and Breath), a performance by the artist Stelarc in Tokyo on 14 February 2024, is now available:

‘This was a one hour performance with an aesthetic surveillance system of 4 cameras – a small wrist camera, a camera positioned above the body, a camera looking up at the robot arm and a camera attached to the end of the robot arm that generated dynamic video feedback.'

Got an invite to see the musical at Harbourfront, and so I said, hmmm, is that what we used to call the DuMaurier Ice House? (back when tobacco was allowed to fund fun stuff) DDG tells me first hit that yes, it was renamed. I did a show there, once upon a previous lifetime, and adding one word to my query popped up this page from my sordid past:

Thanks to everyone who very kindly hosted me. Highlights included Jasia Reichardt's keynote 'In Praise of Strangeness': https://www.icra2023.org/plenary-keynote-sessions

And the performance by the legend that is Stelarc: https://www.icra2023.org/art-robotics-stelarc

Saw the Carolee Schneemann Body Politics exhibition at the Barbican. I'd recommend it. Good to see a performance artist acknowledged like this (although Schneemann identified more as a painter).

Stelarc next?

If you want to catch the Schneemann, you need to hurry. There's only today and tomorrow left as the exhibition ends 8th January.
